Dida's best saves compilation in AC Milan

Compilation dei migliori salvataggi di Dida

Per diversi anni considerato uno dei migliori portieri in circolazione, è stato eletto dall'IFFHS (Istituto di Storia e Statistica del Calcio) nel 2003, 2004 e 2005 rispettivamente quarto, terzo e secondo miglior portiere al mondo e, sulla base di tali classifiche annuali, sesto miglior portiere del decennio 2001-2010. È inoltre uno dei tre calciatori ad aver vinto due edizioni del Mondiale per club con due squadre differenti: il Corinthians nel 2000 e il Milan nel 2007; gli altri due sono Fábio Santos e Danilo che hanno vinto la competizione con il San Paolo nel 2005 e con il Corinthians nel 2012.

One of only two goalkeepers in Milan history to make over 200 Serie A appearances, Dida won the Champions League twice in 2003 and 2007, with the former coming after he saved three penalties in a shoot-out against Juventus F.C. He is also the first two-time winner of the FIFA Club World Cup, the inaugural winner of the FIFPro Goalkeeper of the Year award, and a five-time nominee of the IFFHS World's Best Goalkeeper award. In 2003, Dida became the first Brazilian keeper to be shortlisted for the Ballon d'Or, with a second nomination in 2005.
On the international level, Dida earned 91 caps in eleven years for the Brazilian national team, including the most appearances in FIFA Confederations Cup history (22). He notably broke a color barrier by becoming the first Afro-Brazilian goalkeeper to start for the Seleção since Moacyr Barbosa in the 1950 FIFA World Cup following his international debut in July 1995. Dida won the 2002 World Cup with Brazil without playing a game, and was the starter in 2006, conceding only twice in five matches. He retired from international play after Brazil were eliminated in the quarterfinals.
